It's really the fault of the young people and their use of the n-word.

I really hate hearing this; its such a terrible argument. The word itself is one with a heavy history, no doubt; but for me, its all about intent. Some of my best, white friends call me "nig", "negro", "****a", and even "****er" at times (my Xbox Live name is Triggerman so its a running joke to call me ****erman), but I don't get mad because I know there's no malice in their words. You take a guy I don't know calling me something like that and we might have a totally different situation, and its all because I don't know their intentions.

Its become pretty popular for young, white women to call each other "bitch". No one is saying that these women are asking to be called bitches because they choose to use it as a term of endearment, so what gives?

If you are going to freak the **** out when someone else uses a word, maybe you shouldn't use it.

This is how I feel.

Words are words - the meaning behind them is what matters.

That thought brings me to another point: "cuss words"

Why is "poop" not as bad as "shit"? Why is "butt" not as bad as "ass"? They mean the same thing.

It's pretty clear she should have settled her discrimination lawsuit to avoid things like this coming out.

“After finishing the dinner rush on some holidays, such as Easter or Mother’s Day, Paula would lock the restaurant doors and hide money all over the dining room. Then she would bring the all-black kitchen staff in and encourage them to run around and turn the dining room upside down, scrounging for money.
“Paula would just sit back and laugh hysterically, as if her overworked, underpaid employees foraging for money was some sort of circus sideshow. It was completely demoralizing for those people barely making minimum wage, yet Paula howled as she watched.”

Following her admission that she made racist remarks, companies have been dumping Paula Deen left and right, but there's at least one that's eager to offer Deen a new gig.

TMZ reports that a porn company that features older women called PureMature.com sent a letter to Deen offering her a six-figure deal to endorse the site.

"Full figured or thin, arthritic or diabetic -- you embody our perfect spokesperson," the company wrote to Deen, adding that she's a "MILF," and they are willing to offer her "6 figures for very little work," since there is no nudity required.

Despite the fact that Deen has now been dropped by The Food Network, Walmart, Target, JC Penney, her book publisher Random House and other companies, it seems unlikely that Deen would sign on, even as she loses millions.

This is a wake up call to all the white folks in America. The N word is used thousands of times a day by professional black people. It's racist to say that it's ok for a black person to use that word but not whites.
